  • Bioshock Infinite ‘City In The Sky’ Trailer

    skylinebankfight_ONLINE1

    I guess a more appropriate title for the video should have been Bioshock Infinite “Holy God I Am Actually Having Thoughts That This May Be Better Than The Original” Trailer.

    Irrational Games continues to put the want in my heart for [amazon_link id=”B003O6E6NE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite[/amazon_link]. My mind strays to [amazon_link id=”B007CM0K86″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Last of Us[/amazon_link] or the new consoles coming this fall but then here comes Bioshock Infinite every few weeks with a new trailer that slaps me in the face and says “don’t forget what you really want”.

  • Bioshock Infinite’s New Trailer Goes 70’s Documentary

    E32011GameplayColumbiaMail2

    As someone who has watched his share of British produced 70’s documentaries (mostly of the Jack the Ripper variety) I can appreciate the style and tone of this look at Columbia’s creation and subsequent secession from the United States. It gives the odd story a creepy look and feel and just adds to the ambiance that was so prevalent in the first Bioshock.

  • Reserve A Game On The Microsoft Store And Get 1600 Points

    Dead-Space-3-Splash-Image1

    There are a lot of big name titles coming out in the first half of this year and Microsoft is giving you an incentive to reserve the ones you want on their store site. The The Microsoft Store is offering a free 1600 MS Point card ($20) when you reserve any of the games they have listed on their site from the promotion. Big games like [amazon_link id=”B0050SXKU4″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Grand Theft Auto 5[/amazon_link] and [amazon_link id=”B0050SWVIQ” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Dead Space 3[/amazon_link] are on the list. All in all it’s not a bad deal when you are essentially paying $39.99 for a game when you get your card.

    Take a look at the list of game available for this offer.

    • Grand Theft Auto 5
    • Tomb Raider
    • Bioshock Infinite
    • Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
    • Lost Planet 3
    • Tiger Woods PGA Tour ’14

    Why?

    Just when I think I have a grasp on my addiction for buying props and collector’s editions of games, NECA, the bane of my wallet, comes along with this fully functioning Sky-Hook from [amazon_link id=”B003O6E6NE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite[/amazon_link] that I need just as much as the Lancer sitting in my room yet will most likely be displayed next to it.

    The 11″ tall and 22″ long replica is available for pre-order now over at Gamestop.com and will run you $79.99. It will be released on February 26, 2013. Check out the video below to see the Sky-Hook in action.

  • Bioshock Infinite’s First Five Minutes

    “Booker, are you afraid of God?”

    “No, but I’m afraid of you.”

    And with those two lines Bioshock Infinite should be on every gamers radar.

    Irrational has released a video showcasing the first five minutes of their upcoming Bioshock Infinite. It is not too spoilery so don’t worry too much but it does introduce us to lead character Booker DeWitt and what his task is on the floating city of Columbia. I love how the rainy conditions and lighthouse interior kind of mirror the beginning of the original Bioshock.

  • Vote On Bioshock Infinite’s Alternate Cover

    Don’t ever say that game developers refuse to listen to their fans. After Bioshock Infinite’s box art was met with less than enthusiastic results it seems Ken Levine has given fans a choice for an alternate cover. The cover will be reversible so you can choose between the original and whichever other choice is voted in by fans. There are six designs to choose from. Make your voice heard.

  • Bioshock Infinite Delayed. Yes, Again.

    Not For Too Long So Don’t Panic.

    Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. [amazon_link id=”B003O6E6NE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite[/amazon_link] has been delayed.

    The game will see a one month delay and release on March 26, 2013, so it is leaving a crowded February for a crowded March. March 2013 will already see the releases of Tomb Raider, God of War: Ascension and Gears of War: Judgment.

    Irrational Games Ken Levine made the announcement citing that they could ship the game in February but it wouldn’t hurt to take a few more weeks and do more bug testing to make sure the game is what the fans deserve.

    “I knew I’d probably get beat up in the press a little bit about it, but at the end of the day, if it’s going to make a better game, we’ll do it.”

    I personally have been waiting for three years on this game so another month will be no problem especially if it makes it better.
